Kurds recapture parts of Kobani from ISIL militants

Kurdish forces fighting ISIL militants in the Syrian city of Kobani have recaptured parts of the city following heavy clashes with the Takfiri terrorists.

Top local officials said on Tuesday that Kurdish forces were advancing street by street in the southern areas of the city, which is located close to the Syrian border with Turkey.

They said the ISIL terrorists would soon be pushed out of Kobani.

The so-called UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) also said “the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) recaptured streets and buildings in the south of Kobani after a fierce battle against ISIS (ISIL) that began yesterday [Monday] evening."
